Colonial Craftsmen and the Beginnings of American Industry
Description:
Not a how-to book, but a book to read with interest in the "old ways." From the preface: "It describes working methods broadly," with extensive illustrations. Some of the trades discussed and illustrated are blacksmiths, coopers, white coopers, housewright, sawyers, joiner, miller, tanner and currier, fuller, itinerants, cat whipper, barber and wigmaker, baker, apothecary and dozens more. This book is also extremely helpful in genealogy research, as many of the terms used on census' may be unfamiliar.
